Wind generated 6.6% of the world’s electricity in 2021. The large-scale turbines generally rotate at  about 20 rpm. General Electric’s Haliade-X has a rotor diameter of 220 m. There are three blades each with a mass of  50,000 kg. Calculate its moment of inertia. What is the linear velocity and the angular velocity during standard operating  conditions? How many rotations will the Haliade-X undergo in a 10-minute time span? A broken bearing causes a  deceleration of the turbine at a rate of 0.7 rad/s2. How long will it take the turbine to stop rotating?
